Thank you for the patch.<br>
<br>
I already discussed a very similar patch with one of your colleagues, I<br>
believe. We concluded that the pre-receive hook and the commit history<br>
in the commit message did not achieve its intended purposes, once you<br>
think carefully about exactly what is trusting what.<br>
<br>
Could you explain how your patch is different, and how it overcomes<br>
those difficulties, please?<br>

If you could prepare these as separate patch(es) we can get them applied<br>
in parallel with the above discussion.<br>
